T-Mobile comes to Asheville to battle Verizon and US Cellular

T-Mobile had a nice stronghold in the nearby Greenville South Carolina and have moved some operations to Asheville to join in on the great market after buying SunCom out. If you use T-Mobile in the Asheville WNC area, let us know how the service is, do they pick up everywhere, and what are their plans like? http://www.t-mobile.com/. I know how SunCom's service is, but is it still the same?

SunCom bought out T-Mobile, but kept the T-Mobile name. Here is the info they released this past February.

"T-Mobile USA, Inc. (“T-Mobile”) and SunCom Wireless Holdings, Inc. (“SunCom,” and together with T-Mobile, the “Applicants”) have filed a series of applications pursuant to Sections 214 and 310(d) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the “Communications Act”). In these applications, the Applicants seek Commission approval of the transfer of control of SunCom’s wholly-owned, indirect licensee subsidiaries – SunCom Wireless License Company, LLC and SunCom Wireless Puerto Rico License Co., LLC (the “SunCom Subsidiaries”) – to T-Mobile. To effectuate the transfer of control, Tango Merger Sub, Inc., a newly formed, wholly-owned subsidiary of T-Mobile, will merge with and into SunCom. Upon merging, SunCom will continue as the surviving corporation. The SunCom Subsidiaries will remain indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of SunCom and will become indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of T-Mobile."

Asheville Verizon Wireless, area leader?

Verizon definitely has the complete Asheville North Carolina area covered. I have never actually seen "my network gang" following me around, but I know they are there, lol. I remember when I had Sun-Com with their $70 per month deal for unlimited. That was great until I stepped out of Asheville for a few days and got a $1200 bill for one month. Yes, I freaked... and then calmly drove 100 mph to the nearest Verizon Wireless store. Not to say everything has been perfect, but they are running a 90% success rate with me and that is awesome.

Their team over there on Tunnel Road works together like clockwork. I watch them, see their body language, feel their attitude... haha... but that is just me. I constantly evaluate businesses, see the pros and cons, and re-invent them slightly or extremely, whichever is needed... and sometimes the business does not even know it. I am optimistic; meaning I focus on the strengths, get rid of tradition, bring a business up to date, and then make it all cycle together effectively. Sometimes I ask myself "is this certain business blind"? But then again marketing is not everyone's forte. Sorry for the tangent. Not looking for work at all. I market what I personally prove and believe in.

Verizon cell phone coverage in Western North Carolina has been more than accomodating. When some of my friends have mountain get-togethers (not like that), picnics, hikes, etc... everyone is always looking at their bars, hoping they "stay in range". Call me prideful, but I don't even glance... I just somehow know I am covered. Bam! http://www.verizonwireless.com/
